Crossbowmen-Test with SeljukSinan

[Longasc]

OK, here we go:

HRE Crossbowmen vs Swiss SAP
3,2,2,3,1,3,3,3,4,5,1,3,5,3,5
15 volleys, 46 killed, 50 remaining.
Time: 3:36

Archers will follow tomorrow... I hit Sinan with a Pike and he then needed a beer desperately http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif


EDIT: This time only 60 Crossbowmen against 96 SAPs...

Strangely, they did better than two units before... *scratches head*.

I am really excited how well archers and arbalests will do tomorrow.

Nice idea.

Myself and Sinan did some tests of Longbows, archers, crossbow and crossbows with Pavises.

They make intersting results.

Any unit with a Pavise against other units will always do well, Longbows are a strong weapon, but use arrow up to quickly, so inorder to use them correctly you really need to have unlimited arrows as they always run out to fast.....

or have more Longbows held in reserve.

ShadesWolf, you did some tests?

Did you write down the results?

The tests Wolf & I did were XBows vs Longbows. They were interesting too, but different coz they were about missile vs missile, whereas here we are doing missile vs SAPs.
